Amy Winehouse taken to hospital after collapsing at home

June 16th, 2008 // 64 Comments

Amy Winehouse collapsed in her home today while “doing admin” (Read: A high-top sneaker stuffed with blow.) when she suffered a fainting spell and was caught by her assistant. She quickly recovered and is resting at a private hospital for precautionary measures, according to BBC News:

Her manager’s assistant was able to stop her falling and Winehouse’s father, Mitch, escorted her to hospital “as a precaution”, the spokesman said.
Doctors are unsure as to the cause of the incident and the star may be kept in hospital overnight for observation.
The 24-year-old had been signing autographs for Canadian fans who had been waiting outside her house all day, her spokesman said.

“Doctors are unsure as to the cause of the incident.” Really? Because I’m pretty sure it was a shitload of drugs. I don’t have a Ph.D., but I think I’ve got this one figured out. So how bout letting me give surgery a crack? True, I’ve got really shaky hands from drinking too much coffee, but I don’t think that should stop us. Wait, hold on, I’m blacking out from the narcolepsy. …. And we’re back. Scalpel!

NOTE: The above pic is Amy waiting for the ambulance to show up while her Canadian fan screams with joy and, I’ll assume, debilitating alcoholism.

    wait…she’s 24?!?

    She looks like she is about 40, but in truth a year younger than me?

    what do we learn here kids? That if you smoke crack, you will age to an old crone almost instantly.

    Well, don’t you guys agree? Isn’t this most womens reaction? Maybe I should try enlargment pills and a shower to get that smegma off.

    By fainting, do they mean “O.D.’d”?

    Debilitating alcoholism? I’m not sure what that means, but if it causes people to scream for joy at Amy Crackhouse, maybe I will slow down on my drinking a bit..

    This is a horrible way to start posting this week. Even the dark clouds outside pale in comparison to this event in Amy’s life.

    I hope you have a quick recovery and are back on the healthy road in quick order. Praying for you and your family.

    “#10….go back to your hole, it’s funny you trolled me at the exact same time I was commenting though. Your timing is…..well pretty stupid actually..’

    Anyone who is so proud of their internet name/secret alter-ego that they get all crybabyish and whiney when someone dares to troll them, well, these are the sorts of people who should be fed to hungry leeches.

    FRIST, no one honestly cares whether it’s you or your “troll”. You are highly unimportant. Also, your troll is usually funnier than you. But please, post more comments because all of your fans are waiting to hear your witty quips!

    Actually #16 – you have it backwards. Anyone who’s life is so pathetic they have to troll someone is a complete and utter douche bag. Those types of people are even worse than some of the idiotic celebs that get bashed on this site. If my life is ever so pathetic I have to pretend to be someone else – then shoot me (or, force me to look at another god-awful pic of Amy Crackhouse naked again. Damn you Fish!)

    I thought I would take a moment to describe myself to all of the fine Superficial readers. I am a kind and soft spoken kind of a gal. My ass is really stretched out from years of 2 litre pepsi bottles but I am proud to say I do still have some feeling down there. My breasts were small but then I had them enlarged to a very ripe 38dd and all of the boys have a grand old time playing with them. Did I forget to mention I am also:
    A really big cock sucker?
    I love to play with my uncle Ned?
    I am on the national registry for sex offenders?
    I like it when you do that special pepsi thing to me?
    I only charge $14 an hour?
    I can throw in my sister for an extra $5
    Keep tuned to this web site for many many more Jimbo facts to come.
